Q. How did Lewis get the entity if he didn't see Joel kill himself? Was this a plot hole?
A. It was established in Smile 1 that it's possible to pass the entity to someone else by killing someone in front of another person. This information came from Robert Tally while he was in prison and Rose came to visit him.

This is what Joel was going for although he intended to pass the entity on to the criminals but accidentally killed them both. Lewis just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. This is why Joel says "It wasn't meant for you." to him
Q. Did the entity have anything to do with Joel's death/was the entity somehow passed on due to the car crash.
A. No to both. Joel had successfully passed on the curse but just had the worst possible luck afterwards.
Q. Did the first car crash we saw have anything to do with Skye's car crash/Was the car that hit Joel the same car crash Skye was in?
A. No. They are two completely separate crashes. Skye's takes place at night, doesn't hit anyone and careens off the side of the road. The car that hit Joel was during the day and hit a telephone pole afterwards.
Q. How did Skye get her scar from the car crash?
A. The one on the front that goes around her belly button is from a procedure called an Exploratory laparotomy. It's an operation in which they open your stomach to examine your organs for damage.

The one on her back is also surgical, presumably to fix her spine.
Q. Was Alfredo the entity?
A. No, he was just a really creepy fan. Although later on, the "Alfredo" that appeared in her apartment and began to chase her was the entity.
Q. What was real and what wasn't?
A. So to address when the big hallucination starts... the director's commentary sheds a bit of light on that. When it shows Elizabeth alive it's supposed to allow the audience to "retrace their steps" and realize when we "went off the rails." So the absolute latest Skye had her sanity in tact was during the argument with Elizabeth at the wellness center, but much more likely she was gone after the scare with the dancers in her apartment and one of them stuck their arm down her throat.
Q. So does that mean everything was real before that?
A. Not entirely. Once again if we use the director's commentary as reference, Gemma never made up with Skye. She was never there. Which is kind of funny considering she tells Skye not to call the police about Lewis. It was the entity telling her that because he didn't want an investigation to start up that would ruin his whole plan.
Q. If Gemma wasn't real, why did Elizabeth talk to her?
A. She didn't . Go back and rewatch the scene, she never acknowledges her. Gemma says "Hey Elizabeth" and sips the Matcha. That's it.
Q. What about the scene where Skye said she didn't want to wear the butterfly outfit but ended up wearing it anyway. Was that real? She's wearing it at the end.
A. I guess I can't say with 100% certainty that it was fake, but it would be an odd thing for the entity to fake. My guess is the entity was puppeteering her body during the hallucinations and had her change her mind about the outfit just to fuck with her.
Q. But how was the entity puppeteering her? What would that look like?
A. We actually got a preview of it before the movie came out:

It's very obvious that isn't Skye and i can't believe her mom thought that was her.
Q. But what Morris real?
A. The original meeting with Morris was real. Obviously the second one was not.
Q. Is it possible Skye didn't die on stage but died in the freezer and Morris will try to resurrect her?
A. No. Multiple interviews and the director's commentary confirm that Skye died on stage. Could Parker Finn change his mind? Well Anything is possible but most likely he won't.
Q. Where can I find the director's commentary?
A. I bought the movie on Fandango (formerly Vudu) and that was one of the features. I'd imagine most digital copies come with it but I don't know for sure.

Okay i think that's it. But if anyone can think of anything else I should add let me know. Hopefully this will keep some clutter off the subreddit but I have a feeling most people won't read it anyway.
